I asked an electrician about doing the same and was told it should be fine. It's unusual to use a cable at its upper current limit in domestic settings I think.
Thanks, I suppose smartest thing to do would be get an electrician round to test/ tell me the current limit / how close to it my circuit is.
It’s such a pig of a job that I don’t want to have to rip it all up or constantly worry my house is going to go up in flames

The electrician who has already looked at it might well have calculated based on cable size and the fuses that you would be ok.
